Hole's Human Anatomy & Physiology (Shier), 12th Edition

Feature Summary

• Learning Outcomes and Assessments – An Outcomes and Assessments format has been incorporated throughout the text. The chapter starts with a list of outcomes for instructors and students and then directly ties to assessments found at the end of the chapter.
  
  
• Ancillary Correlation Guide – The authors have looked at the many ancillary products available with their text. A variety of ancillaries will be tied to specific Learning Outcomes within the text.
  
  
• Test Bank – The authors personally updated the test bank, available on this Online Learning Center.
  
  
• Updated Micrographs – There are many new micrographs and corresponding line art.
  
  
• "Foundations for Success" – This section was specifically designed to help students LEARN how to study at the collegiate level and efficiently use the tools available to them.
  
  
• References to Appendices – These appear in a different color to make them stand out for quick student reference to the outstanding appendices.
  
  
• InnerConnections – multipurpose illustrations, found at the ends of systems chapters, conceptually link the highlighted body system to every other system, reinforcing the dynamic interactions of groups of organs. These graphic representations review chapter concepts, make connections, and stress the "big picture" in learning and applying the concepts and facts of anatomy and physiology.
  
  
• Summary Material – Hole places emphasis on tables which are consistent with the narrative, keeping them clear and succinct, and avoiding excessive detail.
  
  
• From Science to Technology – sections preview the technological applications of knowledge in anatomy and physiology that students are likely to encounter in the future, and explain how and why the technology was developed.
  
  
• Clinical Coverage – Hole uses the appropriate amount of clinical coverage to draw students into the material by showing readers relevance of information presented. Often clinical coverage can help a student better understand a concept from a new perspective
  
  
• Anatomy and Physiology Revealed! – A unique multimedia tool designed to help students learn and review using a virtual human cadaver! Detailed cadaver photos layered upon one another provide an interactive dissection experience! Anatomy & Physiology Revealed includes dissections, animations, imaging, histology, and an incredible self testing program. All sections combine to make study time efficient and lectures unforgettable.
